Abstract EN
Cloud computing is a promising technology that is expected to transform the healthcare industry.
Cloud computing has many benefits like flexibility, cost and energy savings, resource sharing, and fast deployment.
In this paper, we study the use of cloud computing in the healthcare industry and different cloud security and privacy challenges.
The centralization of data on the cloud raises many security and privacy concerns for individuals and healthcare providers.
This centralization of data (1) provides attackers with one-stop honey-pot to steal data and intercept data in-motion and (2) moves data ownership to the cloud service providers; therefore, the individuals and healthcare providers lose control over sensitive data.
As a result, security, privacy, efficiency, and scalability concerns are hindering the wide adoption of the cloud technology.
In this work, we found that the state-of-the art solutions address only a subset of those concerns.
Thus, there is an immediate need for a holistic solution that balances all the contradicting requirements.
